It’s a long, drawn out process to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but two former Steelers have taken the next step. The Hall of Fame announced its 2025 modern-era semifinalists, with James Harrison and Hines Ward being two of the 25 names.
Ward is one of the best wide receivers in Steelers history and possibly the greatest blocking receiver to ever do it. He’s logged plenty of accolades: four Pro Bowls, two Super Bowls, and the MVP award from Super Bowl XL. He’s Pittsburgh’s all-time leading receiver with 12,083 receiving yards and 85 receiving touchdowns.
